The climax sequence of Mission Impossible Fallout is set in Kashmir, whichwas recreated in New Zealand, director Christopher McQuarrie told Indiannews agency IANS.
The director described New Zealand as a “nice and safe country” and addedthat they need a “more politically complex” world for the film . “Wecouldn’t shoot the aerial sequence (helicopter chase sequence) in[India-occupied Kashmir]. It was a little too crazy. So, we ended up in NewZealand… (but) we wanted something which was more political complex thanNew Zealand,” he told IANS.

“We wanted to shoot in Paris and we knew that we are based in London, sosomething needs to happen there. And we knew we wanted a helicopter chasesequence. The only country which would let us do it was New Zealand and wewanted something which was more political complex than New Zealand. Itdidn’t feel like something politically dangerous would be happening in NewZealand and we looked at places which had some similarities to New Zealand,and that is why we picked Kashmir,” he added.
